Pundit Jamie O'Hara says it is time to stop "criticising" Jesse Lingard for his decision to join Nottingham Forest on a free transfer this summer.
The England international agreed to a one-year contract after becoming a free agent following the expiration of his Manchester United contract. While some reports stated he could earn around £120,000 a week, the 29-year-old is reportedly earning a basic £80,000-per-week plus add-ons.
O'Hara believes it is fair for Lingard to receive a high wage after Forest did not had to pay a transfer fee to land him. "I think they need to get off his back, like come on, give the guy a chance," O'Hara said on talkSPORT.
